Serj Tankian - Saving Us (Song)
Saving Us is a track by Serj Tankian which appears on his first album, Elect The Dead. I’ll be honest and say openly that when System Of A Down went on hiatus and then the members went off to do their own things, I paid a lot more attention …
The Offspring Americana Album
The Offspring is an alternative punk rock band and is one of my favorite bands in general. This is also one of my favorite albums from the band as well and it has some of my favorite songs from them. I think this album is pretty solid around.
The first track …
The Doors - L’America (Song)
L’America is a song by The Doors which appears on their album L.A. Woman. The track opens up in a very dark fashion with a confusing guitar line playing along for about a minute before other instrumentation comes in to further enforce this dark atmosphere. After about a minute …
Michael Kelly Rose Acoustic/Electric Guitar
At first I was a bit apprehensive about purchasing a guitar that appeared to be a “knock off” of a Martin D-45. Given the reputation that copy cat guitars generally bare, I was certain that the craftsmanship would be inferior. That coupled with being manufactured in Asia …
Yes Live from the House of Blues DVD concert
I rented this concert dvd from Netflix, because I have long been a fan of Jon Anderson’s music. While I was born a little late for the “Yes” era, I do appreciate the quality of their music, and of course the front man is one of my favorite …

You Belong With Me (Single)- Taylor Swift
This is one of my favorite Taylor Swift songs that describes a very classic situation. It is what most teenage girls has experienced at least once. There has always been that girl stealing your guy friend when you are thinking he belongs with you and he is way to …
All because of you (song by, u2)
I actually heard the song entitled “All because of you” for the first time on MTV. They were having a countdown and this song was one of the featured songs with a video to go along with it as well. All because of you is a song by an …
Megadeth Rust In Peace
Rust In Peace is Megadeth’s fourth album released in 1990 on Capital Records. The album could be my favorite by the band, it is really complex in every way, still as fast and aggressive as the previous albums, only deeper in lyrical matter and style this time around. Hangar …
Birdy - Wild Horses (2016 Song)
I’ve been too in love with this young girl ever since she released an album full of covers, but mind you, she literally treated those songs like they were her own. She polished alternative tracks so that the general public (who don’t like that genre much) would appreciate it. …
Smash Mouth (band)
I remember in the late nineteen nineties and early two thousands I had begun to discover pop rock. I was still very young, not even a teenager as yet and so I didn’t know where to get new music especially new music from the pop rock genre since that …
Guns N Roses - Sweet Child O’ Mine
Sweet Child O’ Mine is a song written by Axl Rose and performed by his band, the legendary Guns ‘N’ Roses.
Sweet Child O’ Mine is one of my all time favorite songs. I currently have the Guns N Roses greatest hits album in my gym and pretty much …
Come On Over by Shania Twain
I have always enjoyed and admired Shania Twain’s beauty. Her CD album years before, entitled Come On Over by Shania Twain was the first time that made me having a total admiration for her brunette beauty. She looks so awesome and is indeed so super gorgeous. And …
Bob Dylan - It Hurts Me Too (Song)
It Hurts Me Too is a traditional song arranged and performed by Bob Dylan and appearing on his album Self Portrait. I’m slightly familiar with The Grateful Dead version of this track so it’ll be interesting to hear how Dylan interpreted it. Dylan unfortunately starts out with a not …
“Stiff-upper lip” AC/DC music album
Perhaps the most common opinion, which circulates around the world about the AC / DC, says that the band has not changed since at least the death of the first singer Bon Scott. Considering that this death occurred twenty years ago, and that since that time the team …
Bob Dylan - When You Gonna Wake Up (Song)
When You Gonna Wake Up is a song by Bob Dylan which appears on his album Slow Train Coming. The track opens up with a very distinct rhythm due to the keyboards on the track, the bass line, and the guitars which come in and out. Dylan comes in …
The Offspring Rise And Fall Rage And Grace
Released in June of 2008, Rise and Fall, Rage And Grace is The Offspring’s eighth album, the album was produced by Bob Rock. It is a good album and it shows how the band has matured and this is good progression, one thing I don’t like about it is …
La Roux Self-titled Album (2009)
From the runways of Gucci last fall to the grand scale Chanel haute couture presentation, La roux’s tracks have reverberated across fashion shows and though the songs sound oddly familiar, it takes a few replays to munch and absorb all the ear-splitting synth pop beats then you start to …
Brothers & Sisters by Coldplay
Have you guys ever listened to this single CD, Brothers & Sisters by Coldplay? You should. It is not that bad, I tell you. Though there are only 3 tracks, I really enjoy listening to it.
If you are a die hard fan of Coldplay, then …
Franz Ferdinand, 2004 Album by Franz Ferdinand
I am sure that people who were already grown up and alive in 2004 and 2005 must have heard some songs from this album. The songs on this record became very popular, and as a result of the success of their debut album, the band itself acquired stardom. And, …
Neutral Milk Hotel - Communist Daughter (Song)
Communist Daughter is a song by Neutral Milk Hotel and the seventh song on their second release In The Aeroplane Over The Sea. Transitioning out of where the previous track left off, the song opens up with a fairly confusing combination of sounds and noises which is really only …
Primer 55-New Release CD
Primer 55 isn’t a very well-known band, although I believe they had a song on a popular soundtrack, perhaps the Resident Evil movie? But this CD is quite a solid effort, maybe even great if you’re into the kind of hardcore tinged with funk sound they bring. …
“Fun House” by The Stooges (1970 rock album)
If you aren’t familiar with “Fun House,” then not only are you missing out on one of the greatest rock albums ever made…but you haven’t even HEARD true rock music, not the way it’s meant to be, at least. This album is everything that’s great about rock: it’s dirty, …
Metallica - Until It Sleeps (Music Video)
Overview —“ Until It Sleeps, the first music video released by Metallica for their album Load, is significantly different from any of the previous music videos that they had released up to this point in their career. In fact, just about everything about not only the video but also …
Pink Floyd - The Gnome (Song)
The Gnome, a song by Pink Floyd which appears on their first record, The Piper At The Gates Of Dawn, is another song on that album which I would basically describe as just being a very upbeat sounding song in tone and basically filled with lyrics full of nonsense, …
Hank Jones: You Were Always On My Mind CD
In the liner jacket for the Hank Jones: You Were Always On My Mind CD, the singer refers to himself as a “vocal throwback.” Well, from where I’m sitting, that’s fine with me because I absolutely adore listening to the musical renderings that Jones offers. He actually …
CD: “What’s Left of Me” by Nick Lachey
For years, Nick Lachey has been trying to emerge from the shadows from either other boy bands such as NSYNC or Backstreet Boys or his own (now ex) wife, Jessica Simpson. In 2003, Nick released his first attempt at a solo career which to this day has only sold …
Weezer - I Want To Be Something (Song)
I Want To Be Something is a song by Weezer which appears on their record Hurley. The song starts out pretty quietly and only features Cuomo, singing quite delicately I might add, along with a simple acoustic guitar part. After around thirty seconds, and Cuomo gradually picking up his …
Pyramid by Charice ft. Iyaz
When I heard this song on the radio, I didn’t know it was Charice singing and I was really proud when I recently found out it was her! I liked the song before and now I like it more, learning it was her that sang this! It didn’t sound …
Andrew Jackson Jihad - We Didn’t Come Here To Rock (Song)
We Didn’t Come Here To Rock is a song by Andrew Jackson Jihad which appears on their album Can’t Maintain. Opening up with an incredibly frantic sound created by the guitar’s rhythm and drum pattern, the vocals join in the track soon enough and the characteristic vocal performance of …
Titanic by Original Soundtrack
Although Titanic by Original Soundtrack has been around for a few years now, I still listen to it as of current. The hums and music background are very nice and teary.
There was once I fought with my boyfriend, and due to that, we did not talk for about …
E=MC2 by Mariah Carey
E=MC2 by Mariah Carey album doesn’t disappoint. At a moment when I thought that there might be lesser and perhaps then extinct singing voice from Mariah Carey, she surprises me up with an album.
And to summarize, E=MC2 truly is a fly. It has the normal sounding …
Decade In The Sun by Stereophonics
Make no mistake about the tracks in Decade In The Sun by Stereophonics. If you have the interest of an Indie band style type of music and you are really looking for nice type of tunes; with a slow-rock bit of an influence, kind of country indie rock, I’d …
System Of A Down - Mind (Song)
Mind is a song by System Of A Down which appears on their self-titled debut album. The track starts off with a very quiet introduction which is led purely by bass until an eerie guitar also comes in along with Tankian joining in with a whisper. Overall, the …
Metallica - King Nothing (Music Video)
Overview —“ King Nothing, the final music video released by Metallica for their album Load, continues to the band’s original trend of shifting between clips of them playing the song and then a story to explain and accompany the lyrics to the song. Despite the similarity in structure and …
Money Maker by Ludacris with Pharrell
Money Maker by Ludacris with Pharrell is a nice song that I like listening to and dancing to. It has a good beat to the song and I just love dancing to the song. To most this song is a dirty song and it is but it also can …
Crazy Ex-Girlfriend by Miranda Lambert
When I first listened to Crazy Ex-Girlfriend by Miranda Lambert, I really thought that I am reading to a novel or something. There is a certain kind of story to this CD album that I like so much. Her voice is soft and crooning and she can even …
Krayzie Bone: Good VS Evil CD
The latest Krayzie Bone album called Good VS Evil is a musical masterpiece. This CD shows Krayzie Bone’s dark and good side. I think this is the best Krayzie Bone album that takes you deep into his mind. The productions and beats are very powerful and just great. Krayzie Bone …
Cassidy : B.A.R.S.
Rapper Cassidy recently put out his third solo cd which was his first cd released after comming home from jail and as a fan I was very excitied about hearing this cd. However, I was very dissapointed in this effort he put into this cd, I previously thought he …
Singer Rod Stewart
Rod Stewart isn’t the most handsome of guys, but he does have a unique voice that tends to draw me in at every turn. His voice does sound a bit scratchy but that is what makes his recordings so great. Rod Stewart has enjoyed great success as a singer …
Bob Dylan - Another Side Of Bob Dylan
Overview - Another Side Of Bob Dylan, Dylan’s fourth effort, continues in his traditional style of having excellent lyrics, basic instrumentation, and not so great vocal delivery. Despite the flaws in his voice, Dylan is really able to compensate for his lyrical talent, which is something he really showcases …
The Beatles - Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite (Song)
Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite is a song written by The Beatles which appears on their album Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. In terms of psychedelic music, the track which people think of when they hear the title of this record is obviously Lucy In The …
Bob Dylan - It Ain’t Me Babe (Song)

The Who - A Quick One (Side II)
Overview —“ Side II of A Quick One is really nowhere near as good as side I with the exception of one song, the title track of the album which is nothing less but a musical epic. Side I had excellent songwriting and just brilliant songs throughout and I …
Megadeth - Hangar 18 (Song)
Hangar 18 is a song by Megadeth which appears on their record Rust In Peace. I’ll mention right now that if you aren’t really a person who enjoys guitar solos very much, this probably isn’t a track that you’ll enjoy all that much, or at least as much as …
Hillbilly Deluxe by Brooks and Dunn
The song Hillbilly Deluxe by Brooks and Dunn reminds me of something sung by at true red neck from the backwoods. It has a certain swinging beat that will drive you to stomp your foot or tap you finger to the restless beat. This type of music has a …
Fergie’s song Big girls don’t cry

Tal Bachman by Tal Bachman CD

Tal Bachman’s self titled CD includes the mega hit She’s So High, the one we all know and love. This CD was released in 1999 …
Green Day - Sweet Children (EP)
Overview —“ Sweet Children, Green Day’s third EP, is surprisingly what I would consider their worst release yet. I figured that since it was released later than either of their first EPs, 1,000 Hours or Slappy, the songwriting would’ve improved and everything like that but this wasn’t the case …
